Introducing Kanopy!

Welcome to a whole new world of thoughtful entertainment on Kanopy! Start watching the Criterion Collection, The Great Courses, Sundance and Oscar winning films and documentaries. To get started visit https://cambridgema.kanopystreaming.com/ and sign in. Here's how it works:

Up to 10 films per month

3 days to watch each film - once you press play on a film, you have 3 days to view it as many times as you like without using another play credit

Play credits reset on the 1st of the month - once you have reached your quota of films, you will not be able to play any films until the new month starts when you will be given a fresh quota of 10 play credits again

Any device - you can access Kanopy from any device, including iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, and Chromecast
